CNC Lathe Machine for the National Data Buoy Center at Stennis Space Center, MS

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is seeking to purchase a CNC Lathe Machine for the National Data Buoy Center at Stennis Space Center, MS. The machine must be a Haas ST-20 CNC Lathe machine, which is compatible with the existing software, tooling, and personnel at the center. The procurement will also include Haas-compatible tooling, such as BMT65 tool holders and a Wireless Intuitive Probing System (WIPS). The sole source determination is based on NOAA's Sole Source Justification rationale, which states that introducing a different brand would require separate proprietary software environments and post-processors, and that the existing inventory of Haas-compatible tooling and trained workforce on Haas systems would be rendered obsolete. • The machine must be a Haas ST-20 CNC Lathe machine • The procurement includes Haas-compatible tooling, such as BMT65 tool holders and a Wireless Intuitive Probing System (WIPS) • The sole source determination is based on NOAA's Sole Source Justification rationale • The procurement is intended to be awarded on a sole source basis to Phillips Corporation in Hanover, MD • Firms that believe they can fully meet the government's requirements may submit substantiating documentation or a request for additional information in writing to Abigail Green within 15 days after publication of the pre-solicitation notice
